Thermal Interactions
Part 1: In an insulated container, you mix 200. g of water at 80°C with 100. g of water at 20°C. After mixing, the temperature of the water is 60°C.
- a How much did the temperature of the hot water change? How much did the temperature of the cold water change? Compare the magnitudes (positive values) of these changes.
- b During the mixing, how did the heat transfer occur: from hot water to cold, or from cold water to hot?
- c What quantity of heat was transferred from one sample to the other?
- d How does the quantity of heat transferred to or from the hot-water sample compare with the quantity of heat transferred to or from the cold-water sample?
- e Knowing these relative quantities of heat, why is the temperature change of the cold water greater than the magnitude of the temperature change of the hot water.
- f A sample of hot water is mixed with a sample of cold water that has twice its mass. Predict the temperature change of each of the samples.
- g You mix two samples of water, and one increases by 20°C, while the other drops by 60°C. Which of the samples has less mass? How do the masses of the two water samples compare?
- h A 7-g sample of hot water is mixed with a 3-g sample of cold water. How do the temperature changes of the two water samples compare?
Part 2: A sample of water is heated from 10°C to 50°C. Can you calculate the amount of heat added to the water sample that caused this temperature change? If not, what information do you need to perform this calculation?
Part 3: Two samples of water are heated from 20°C to 60°C. One of the samples requires twice as much heat to bring about this temperature change as the other. How do the masses of the two water samples compare? Explain your reasoning.

- The temperature of the cooling water as it leaves the hot engine of an automobile is 240 F. After it passes through the radiator it has a temperature of 175 F. Calculate the amount of heat transferred from the engine to the surroundings by one gallon of water with a specific heat of 4.184 J/g oC.arrow_forwardThree 45-g ice cubes at 0 C are dropped into 5.00 102 mL of tea to make iced tea. The tea was initially at 20.0 C; when thermal equilibrium was reached, the final temperature was 0 C. How much of the ice melted, and how much remained floating in the beverage? Assume the specific heat capacity of tea is the same as that of pure water.arrow_forwardSwimming Pool A swimming pool measuring 20.0m12.5m is filled with water to a depth of 3.75m. If the initial temperature is 18.4°C, how much heatmust be added to the water to raise its temperature to29.0°C? Assume that the density of water is 1.000 g/mL.arrow_forward
- A 192-g piece of copper is heated to 100.0 C in a boiling water bath and then dropped into a beaker containing 751 g of water (density = 1.00 g/cm3) at 4.0 C. What was the final temperature of the copper and water after thermal equilibrium was reached? (CCu = 0.385 J/g K.)arrow_forward9.39 How much thermal energy is required to heat all of the water in a swimming pool by 1°C if the dimensions are 4 ft deep by 20 ft wide by 75 ft long?

The equation for the dissolving of the salt is: MX2(s)M2+(aq)+2X(aq);H0 a Immediately after the salt dissolves, is the solution warmer or colder? b Indicate the direction of heat flow, in or out of the beaker, while the salt dissolves. c After the salt dissolves and the water returns to room temperature, what is the value of q for the system?arrow_forward
- 9.82 The specific heat of gold is 0.13 J g-1 K-1 and that of copper is 0.39 J g-1 K-1. Suppose that we heat both a 25-g sample of gold and a 25-g sample of copper to 80C and then drop them into identical beakers containing 100 mL of cold water at 10°C. When each beaker reaches thermal equilibrium, which of the following will be true, and why? (You should not need to calculate the actual temperatures here.) (a) Both beakers will be at the same temperature. (b) The beaker with the copper sample in it will be at a higher temperature. (c) The beaker with the gold sample in it will be at a higher temperaturearrow_forwardAdding 5.44 g of NH4NO3(s) to 150.0 g of water in a coffee-cup calorimeter (with stirring to dissolve the salt) resulted in a decrease in temperature from 18.6 C to 16.2 C. Calculate the enthalpy change for dissolving NH4NO3(s) in water, in kJ/mol. Assume the solution (whose mass is 155.4 g) has a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/g K.
